"UPLOAD BLOCKED We couldn't verify you have the necessary permissions
In word or excel I get an error saying "UPLOAD BLOCKED We couldn't verify you have the necessary permissions to upload the file." and "The permissions on this file were updated and you no longer have the rights to view this file. If you previously made changes to this file, they may not be saved." These are my files that I created in my programs, save in my OneDrive. Why can't I use my files?! The discussions in this forum are no longer relevant to help with this problem. There is no "office tab" when you click on the OneDrive icon and select settings. The only discussion from 2023 is for a Mac OS. I am using Windows 11.Resolving erroneous network errors with personal vault
I appreciate there are many(!) general OneDrive vault issues floating around but I wondered does anyone have a solution to a very specific oddity which has rendered OneDrive useless to me - and hence is preventing me purchasing it for use with my small business. Multiple Windows 11 PCs (all up to date, clean etc etc) - OneDrive working correctly, access personal vault and authenticate, all good can see files and access them. One PC hard-line ethernet, the other via WiFi OneDrive website - all working correctly including vault. Samsung Galaxy S10FE Android phone (all up to date, patched, clean etc etc). OneDrive app (v7.32.1) is working fine except for the vault... after authentication (PIN or Biometric I've tried both), the vault appears empty. Upon refreshing, it throws a nonsense "not connected to wifi/mobile data" error. Things to note... all devices are signed into the same MS account, I've tried different WiFi, just mobile data vs WiFi, I've uninstalled, rolled back to factory, cleared cache, reset app, logged-out and logged-back in again. Nothing root'ed or custom on the 'phone, just plain android with Samsung setup. I've confirmed definitely connected - as evidenced by other files upload and download fine, speedtest app shows steady 500/70 on the wifi. Also tried the same version of the app on a cheapie Motorola android phone, exactly the same issue. Can anyone help here - anyone else seen this? I need to make a decision as to whether to subscribe for my SB but currently it's useless - the vault is primarily what we need. Thanks in advance.
Issue with accessing personal vault on OneDrive app post restart
When I opened my onedrive mobile app today the app pushed a message saying that a restart was required. I restarted the app and it told me to set up my personal vault. I've been using my personal vault for several years now so no set up was required. When I logged into my personal vault, all of the files within it were missing. They're available on the online version of onedrive but not in the app version. There's nothing in the recycling bin and there's no recent activity to suggest mass movement/deletion of files. I've restarted the app multiple times, tried with and without wifi, and have tried on different devices - all are showing an empty vault. Has anyone had this problem? Is this a syncing issue or a bug with the new app?
How can I force OneDrive to accept metadata for images and photos 1:1?
Is there any way to force OneDrive to save images as an exact copy of the original local files, including all changes to metadata? In detail: I have massive problems with using OneDrive as a data storage for photos, as OneDrive is often unwilling to accept changes to metadata (especially tags or geo-coordinates). The problem seems to have existed for years, as you can read in various places: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4527626 - OneDrive reverts changes to IPTC (!) https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/onedrive-randomly-re-creates-pictures-some/7ca06735-eac2-470d-8c54-77adc7955d5c https://www.lightroomqueen.com/community/threads/lightroom-with-onedrive-keyword-metadata-conflicts.41753/ and other places. I also have the problem that I change the metadata of my images with digiKam, but that these changes are then often not accepted by OneDrive. There is then a file conflict, OneDrive renames my local files and I then have two variants. Or the changes simply do not arrive in OneDrive and are not even recognized as changes. In other words, it is not possible to reliably change image metadata when the folder is synchronized with OneDrive. So I tried the following workaround to at least have a secure and exact copy of my data somewhere: - I now use local folders for pictures and videos that are not synchronized with OneDrive - I synchronize these local folders via "Synology Drive" one-way (from the PC to the Synology) with a Synology Diskstation - "Chloud Sync" runs on the Synology to synchronize the changes from the Synology to OneDrive one-way. - The aim is for the data in OneDrive to also correspond to the local data on my PC The synchronization from the PC to the Synology works. I can compare data with WinMerge and the data on the Synology corresponds to the local data. The synchronization from the Synology to OneDrive does not work properly: I can synchronize the data from OneDrive to my PC for testing and comparison. If I now compare my original local images with those that come back to my PC via the detour "local -> Synology -> OneDrive -> local 2", many changes in the metadata of the images are not adopted.OneDrive personal logs filling up hard drive
I received a low disc space alert on my pc, and to my surprise, had 0% remaining. After some exploring, I found a folder: Users/UserName/AppData/Local/Microsoft/OneDrive/Logs/Personal Which was about 30GB and contained a few hundred thousand files called SyncEngine followed by dates and numeric codes. I deleted the folder contents. After about a day its back up to 8GB and climbing. I deselected any folders for OneDrive backup. I'm assuming there's something wrong and this folder isn't supposed to be outrageously large, but I can't get it to stop filling up my hard drive. Any insights would be greatly welcomed!
Onedrive removing original files from desktop
Could someone explain why onedrive would remove my original files off my desktop when managing backups and such? For a filesharing cloud software to wipe my desktop of important files when I trying to manage what is shared, has baffled me into a rage that I may not recover from. Why does onedrive cram 2 desktops together in a hodgepodge of file confetti? Why would onedrive remove original files when backup is deselected? Why would onedrive set out to destroy my marriage and life savings by thwarting my good times? Thanks onedrive, you champ.Can't stop backup on slow connection
Windows 11 has for some time been trying to get me to back up the My Documents and Pictures folders to OneDrive, but as I only have slow broadband I have been careful to reject this. Yesterday after rectifying a stuck updates issue, I must have inadvertently allowed backup to be initiated during re-start. It is now trying to upload 25gb of files over a connection with an upload speed averaging about 100kb. At this rate it will take about 25 days even if on constantly, and as I only use the machine for a few hours at the weekends it will effectively never happen. It is also affecting internet speed for other tasks and devices. If I go to the backup controls and toggle My Documents and Pictures to Off it then looks like all my files are gone, there's just a shortcut to OneDrive in these folders. But even with these backups switched to off it doesn't stop trying to upload the files, presumably it has to complete this task before it can revert to not backing up - but like I said this will never be completed on my connection. The files must be still on the local machine because if I go to ones in the OneDrive folder that haven't yet been synced, they open normally without downloading. Is there really no way I can roll back to just having my files on the local machine and stop it trying to upload them to OneDrive? I don't want to stop using OneDrive completely, I do have files on there that I use directly from the OneDrive folder, I just don't wan't it backing up the My Documents and Pictures folders there.
